<p>if your goal is to get an MS, there are law schools that have joint JD/MS programs. Duke has that combo with the MS in engineering/ computer science.
There are probably other similar joint programs at other law schools.<br>
I’m just throwing this info out to give you something to think about.</p>
<p>I too am from the camp that obtaining an MS is on par with one or two years work experience. In fact a job with decent responsibility may be more beneficial than the masters degree, at least in regard to law school admission.</p>
